Something everyone has to remember is that this site on Agoracom, while free, is also very public. Any post lists this site on the front page where lurkers can find the board. On a secondary item, I would bet that internet spiders can also scan this site and your posts are searchable and wide open for unsuspecting eyes. I was quite surprised to see what I have posted on many sites over the years come up when I used my connect name in google.

When the Crowbar was setup, the one level of security has prevented the web spiders from allowing the "private" discussions to be secure. So the old addage proves true - "Things that are said in the Crowbar, stay in the Crowbar". There is information we was posted that was not publicly information at the time as we did tons of DD, much like the family who visit her daily.

Last is the chat - it has allowed many to get to know the "personal" side of chatters and should not be dismissed. I generally take most postings lightly until the poster has proven to be accurate and sincere with their intentions. Many on the internet sites are turncoats and we all have witnessed quite a few in the ARU death struggle.
